Lipstick, shoes, and coffee, right?
These were the essentials I had in mind as I designed this quilt for my mom, for her birthday. With the help of the very talented ladies from the Modern Quilting Bee, I was able to get this quilt completed, and it now is being enjoyed by my mom! Her birthday was last week, and the quilt came only a few days late! :)
The quilt is ~58″ square, and has so much fun to it. Munki Munki patterned pjs (coffee, lipstick, and shoes) were cut up and sent literally all over the world. While the bee members were making their blocks, I was making mine; it call came together SO beautifully! And a very special thank you to Shea who really helped me with the back!
and more upclose:
I used Kona chocolate for the binding, and the back was used with Kona (cream?) muslin – which is SO soft!
There were SO many incredible blocks that went into this (above is Leanne’s, and below is Dena’s) – with so many great fabrics from everyone’s stash!
For the quilting, I did a simple meandering design – and it all came together beautifully!
Momma, HAPPY birthday! I hope that this provides you with lots of warmth and comfort! And yes, there is a lifetime guarantee :)
Oh, it will not only keep me warm and cozy while reading on the sofa or watching TV, but it also gives me the “warm fuzzies” knowing that those two adorable little hands with dimples made them just for me! I love you, Baby!
WOW! This is awesome! It is so fun to see the compelted quilt, it came together so amazingly!! I’m sure your mom will love it!
I am so jealous that you have a put together quilt. I am still waiting on 2 blocks. I think it is almost time to throw in the towel and do 2 more up myself and then get it done.
Your quilt is just so lovely. I love all the dots – actually just bought more so I don’t run out any time soon.
Love it! It was great seeing you on Sunday…hope you have had a wonderful week!!
Super groovy. I love reading your mom’s comments above. Awww!
Yeah! It looks great! I loved the colors you chose, too. I am so glad that the extra blocks worked for your quilt back- it looks sooooo neat!
This is super cute
So beautiful! This makes me really excited to get started on our bee!
